Pre-existing system
The irony is that teaching kids about systemic racism actually relieves them of personal responsibility for what happened in the past because we’re all born into a pre-existing system not of our making. Our only responsibility is what we do about it now. Discomfort is to be expected, but guilt isn’t helpful or necessary.

Omitting historical facts or glossing over them is lying. Feeling “guilty” is a byproduct of realizing your/our/their privilege was built on the backs of our fellow citizens. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Arid Future
